One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I apologize for the lack of posts last week. I was in full blown bachelorette party planning mode for my sister’s party that was last weekend. It was an amazing weekend with friends and of course lots of partying. I thought I would share one of the desserts I made, a fruit tart. Fruit Tart…
Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter! We had a great Easter brunch filled with Easter borscht, crostini’s, baked eggs, asparagus and of course hard boiled eggs (you can see my classic rainbow one below). Oh and how could I forget, after all that brunch we had smoked ribs, brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. I made…
This past weekend was my sister’s birthday, which brought the birthday count to four for the month of February alone. February is not about Valentine’s day its about birthday’s, or at least those are the cards that Hallmark is making a profit off of from me. One perk of all the birthdays is it give…
This is a story of the butter that just would not soften… On a cool winter evening the butter was purchased from the local grocery store. The butter took a bumpy ride in the back seat of the car in the plastic bag, then was carried inside to the warm house. By his forgetful owner…
I have officially turned 24. The scary 24. The 24 that is oh so much older than 23. I’ve been dreading it but its just waltzed into my life. And surprise, surprise, its nots that bad. One bonus, I finally got the Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia Child cookbook. Another bonus my almond…

We used the pretzel loaf for French toast this morning— fingers crossed we ate enough. German New year’s Pretzel from America’s…
When we have a loaf of challah in the house its lucky if it makes it to the next day. I love it. It is sweet and light and doughy and I just eat it slice, after slice, after slice. As soon as I had my first taste of challah I knew I wanted to…
Sorry to have taken so long to post, but its been a really busy week. My dad called me Saturday as I was driving to work to inform me and my and sister that he would be stopping in for a visit on Sunday aka tomorrow. I was obviously excited but that also meant everything…
I have officially been in Denver now for two weeks and one day. I’m loving living in a town with the mountains so close and have been enjoying them on the two weekends I’ve been here. Looking at the leaves changing from a mountain top is pretty extraordinary. As a welcome to Denver post I…
My sister’s engagement party was this past Saturday and it was amazing! It was at a wine bar in Dallas with friends and family and it went perfectly. To go along with the wine, we had a cheese platter that was incredible, pizza and for dessert dark chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting and chocolate…
